Vintage Chinese Art Deco Floral Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB8844 7'0" × 9'8" $22,000

A beautifully preserved example of early 20th-century Chinese rug craftsmanship, this vintage wool rug from the 1930s offers an elegant synthesis of traditional Eastern motifs and understated Art Deco influences. Hand-knotted in wool, the rug presents a refined palette of muted beige, ivory, and black that brings timeless sophistication to any space.

At the heart of the design is a lush botanic pattern, where abstract floral motifs and scrolling tendrils bloom across a soft beige field. The vines are intricately outlined in a bold black, giving the pattern a rhythmic flow and subtle contrast that evokes the natural forms of clouds and blossoms. These motifs are symmetrical and mirror one another along both axes, creating visual balance and a sense of harmony.

The rug is framed by a decorative border featuring stylized lotus and ruyi shapes, outlined in black against a cream background. This border not only complements the central design but also anchors the composition with structure and finesse. Subtle abrash and shading throughout the field lend depth and texture to the surface, enhancing its antique charm.

With its balanced design and serene coloration, this piece embodies the fusion of Chinese tradition and early modern design sensibilities, making it a standout accent for both classic and contemporary interiors. Whether placed in a formal sitting room or a minimalist loft, this 1930s Chinese botanic rug offers refined artistry and historical allure.

With its unique pattern and refined colors, this vintage rug reflects the impeccable taste of Doris Leslie Blau’s selections. Offering both rare, high-end pieces and more accessible options, Doris Leslie Blau presents rugs in a wide spectrum of prices.
